They said 49-year-old Victoria Moon was driving a 2007 Ford Edge and she turned off Atlanta Highway toward the parking lot of Sam’s Club. She drove into the path of a Dodge Journey that was heading east.

Thurman was Moon’s passenger. Forty-seven-year-old Michael Hanlon of Athens was also in that vehicle. Moon, Hanlon, and Thurman were carried to Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center for medical treatment.
